How to Choose the Perfect Marquee for Your Event in Yorkshire

Planning an event in Yorkshire? Whether it’s a wedding, birthday party, or corporate celebration, finding the right marquee can make all the difference. At DSJ Marquees, we’ve helped hundreds of customers across Yorkshire host beautiful, stress-free events and we’re here to share our expert guide on how to choose the perfect marquee for your special occasion.

1. Choose a Marquee That Suits Your Event

Every event is different, and your marquee should match the atmosphere you want to create.

• Wedding Marquee Hire: For outdoor weddings, think about the layout, you may want a welcoming walkway, a designated space for your ceremony, a dancefloor, and a stylish area for dining. Lighting and decor can completely transform the space, from romantic fairy lights to elegant chandeliers.
• Party Marquee Hire: For birthdays or special occasions, you’ll need space for music, dancing, and socialising. Consider adding a bar area and seating.
• Corporate Marquee Hire: If you’re hosting a company event or awards evening, a clean and professional setup with good lighting, carpeting, and seating can help make a lasting impression.

At DSJ Marquees, we offer one high-quality marquee style in a range of sizes to suit all events.

2. Work Out Your Marquee Size

Getting the size right is key to ensuring your event feels comfortable and welcoming. Check out the rough guide on our website to see our range of sizes and the number of guests based on our industry leading experience and standards.

As a rule of thumb, allow 1–1.5 square metres per seated guest, plus extra space for a dancefloor, catering area, or stage if needed. If you wish our DSJ team will help design a layout that fits your guest list perfectly.

3. Think About Flooring, Linings & Lighting

The finishing touches make all the difference.

• Flooring & Carpets: A carpeted marquee not only looks great but keeps your guests comfortable throughout the event. It also allows kids to run around and have a play without ruining them new clothes!
• Linings: Elegant ivory linings give a soft, luxury feel, perfect for weddings and formal occasions, or if you just want to impress your guests, which we know, you do.
• Lighting: We provide only chandeliers to raise the bar and standards of your marquee, we feel it adds some sophistication and elegant feel.

4. Choose the Right Furniture

Furniture plays a huge role in the overall look and comfort of your marquee.

• Chiavari Wooden Chairs: Ideal for weddings and formal dinners, stylish, elegant, and timeless.
• Standard Chairs: Great for casual parties or corporate events, offering comfort and practicality.
• Tables: We offer standard trestle tables, so you can fit more guests in your marquee!

We can also supply heaters, so your event setup is comfortable, even in Winter.
